Olivia Hawkins revealed her time as a boxing ring girl was 'empowering'.
Before Love Island fame, she worked part-time at matches and covered huge fights for rapper-turned-boxer KSI.
Previously speaking about the job, Liv said: 'Obviously they got rid of the Formula 1 grid girls, but I feel so empowered.
'Everyone within the boxing community makes me feel so welcome.
'And you always feel so supported with all the security and everything, but I just think every woman should embrace themselves and do whatever they want.
'Obviously, I get the odd wolf whistle, but I don't really tend to pay too much attention to that.
'Once I'm finished, I'm just ready to get in my car and get the heater on really.'

The Morning Live presenters were spotted looking loved up as they headed to a country club and spa on Monday.

An insider said: 'Gethin and Helen were all over each other. They are clearly super comfortable with each other and it wasn't just like two friends hanging out. 'Helen was really laughing and smiling as they spent time together before heading off in the late afternoon.' They both appear on the BBC show on week day mornings, which is based in Manchester. But they have been spending an increasing amount of time together outside of the studio. Helen is based in Cornwall with her children Ernie, nine, Louis, eight, and Elsie, three, who she shares with her ex-husband Richie Myler. It was first reported last month how their relationship had turned more than just platonic. They were pictured close at the Baftas and last year were spotted at a charity ball set up by Rob Burrow's sisters, with a source adding about the ball: "It was very clear that Helen and Gethin were together as a couple at the event. "They were with close friends of Helen's and their connection was undeniable." Helen's husband Richie left her for Stephanie Thirkill in 2022. Watch touching moment Helen Skelton breaks down in tears as she's reunited with her kids during gruelling Comic Relief challenge The Strictly star faced further heartbreak when her rugby player ex went on to have two children with his new love. Gethin, who has previously dated former Towie star Lucy Mecklenburgh and was engaged to mezzo-soprano singer Katherine Jenkins, recently revealed that he's had little success on the dating scene. He said he was struck off the popular dating app Hinge because women didn't believe his profile was really him. Helen and Gethin took part in an epic Comic Relief challenge earlier this year and both gushed about each other after raising £34million for charity. Helen said on social media: "I don't publicly say often enough how much love and respect I have for you my friend because I assume it is well known. "But for the record you're a legend and I am beyond grateful to have you by my side on the rink, the sofa and beyond. "I can gush.. he doesn't read beyond one paragraph on an insta post." Helen and Gethin's reps have been contacted for comment. 5 Helen and Gethin have spoken about how much they get on Credit: Instagram

Iconic 90s band 'confirmed' as Glastonbury's secret Patchwork act
There are only two weeks to go until Glastonbury 2025 kicks off and festival fans think they've worked out who secret act Patchwork really is. Speculation has been growing about the various secret sets across Worthy Farm but it looks like this biggest lineup mystery has been 'confirmed'. Names like Haim, Harry Styles, Timothee Chalamet, Robbie Williams, and even Oasis have been mentioned as potential performers (despite Noel and Liam Gallagher distinctly saying no). However, it seems Patchwork's identity has been 'confirmed' by popular Glastonbury hint account SecretGlasto. According to the anonymous tip poster, none other than Pulp will be taking to the Pyramid Stage in that primetime slot of 6.15pm on Saturday, June 28. SecretGlasto shared a video of a patchwork quilt and someone using a sewing machine before cutting to clips of Jarvis Cocker and Pulp. Formed in Sheffield in 1978, Pulp grew in popularity in the mid-1990s, firstly with their 1994 album His 'n' Hers and its follow-up Different Class. In the background clips from recent interviews with the Common People hitmakers discussing Glastonbury — and Candida Doyle's love of Patchwork. While speaking to Jo Whiley, the 61-year-old musician shared: 'I used to do patchwork when I was on tour and I made a really nice bit of patchwork, that's all I can think of right now.' Then there's frontman Jarvis, 61, who confirmed he will be going to Glastonbury this year for a DJ set at the Stone Bridge bar. However, when pushed by Scott Mills about the possibility of taking to the Pyramid Stage, he said only in a 'life or death situation'. Fans have taken SecretGlasto's post as fact, with ruwise commenting on Instagram: 'So glad that Jarvis realised that it was a life or death situation for me.' 'Hope this is real?🙌' said kellyknox123 as miaandfam wrote: 'So Jarvis lied to me on @bbc6music then hey? 😮.' 'Better not be a stitch up,' added with some mystery still surrounding an account for Patchwork which has not been verified. 'Still dont think it's pulp…… on the 'patchwork' account the date is in american format….. would pulp say 'ya'll' on a post like americans do,' said shepherd_ali. Stuartbrown12 replied: 'That patchwork account could be run by anyone, the blue tick doesn't mean anything these days. Secret glasto is usually right about these things.' More Trending SecretGlasto does have a tendency to be correct, although not always — in 2023 they said James Acaster was doing a secret set but it was not the comedian. The popular account did apologise for the confusion, but we'll happily excuse one error every so often. Pulp have just returned with new music and a tour, although it is bittersweet as the band lost bassist Steve Mackey in 2023. The Babies hitmakers themselves have not confirmed anything, but they're unlikely to say either way until the big day — watch this space. Got a story?
